From the Chicago Herald
On Madison street one day paused to pat
the nose of beautiful horse which stood by
the curb and to commserate his misfortune
For this beautiful animal, though sleek of
coat and shapely ia body and limb, was ap-
parently suffering most excruciating tor
ture His head had been checked inhunan-
ly high, and the cruel bit, drawing tightly
in his mouth, disfigured an animal face Of
unusual charm and intelligence. | Wa lust
fencying that the horse had begun to under
stand and appreciate my words of sympa-
thy, when the lady who sat in the carriage
holding the reins fumbled in her pocket,
produced a lump of white sugar, and asked
me TO give it to the horse.
"He is very fond of sugar. she ex-
planned, land have quite won his heart by
Feeding it to him. | always carry sugar in
my pocket while out driving, and give him
a lump at every opportunity. | never knew
a horse to be so fond of sugar win you
please give him another lump!'
Certainly" | replied. 81 see that you
are quite as fond of the horse as he is of

"Then why do you torture him"

you not know that the poor animal suffers
agony because his head is checked so I'M

straight, producing a most ungraceful
angle, he holds his head awkwardly, the bit
is hurting his mouth, and that graceful cur
Nature of neck land carriage of head which
are his in nature are now entirely lost. Why
do You check him so highI'
She didn't know. She was not aware that
high checking was a source of pain to horses,
nor that it destroyed their natural beauty.
She was amazed at the discovery.

When the strap was unnrapped the horse

the cramps out of his handsome neck, shook

preston in his intelligent eyes that his mis-
